Elegant, timeless, and slightly understated
I am 5’6” and the length hit perfectly below my ankles with 3.5” heels. I weigh ~135lbs with a 27” waist and a 34C chest measuring about 35” around. I ended up wearing the size 4. The size 6 backup was too big. I would have liked to try the size 2 and I am sure it would have zipped but I was very comfortable in the 4 being a bit looser, even with a standard strapless bra as I was looking for something not super form fitting The material is thick and lined inside with a very slight stretch to it and I was able to use an iron on the bottom to get out the wrinkles incurred during shipping. I loved this dress for a formal, elegant and slightly understated look with a touch of drama with the satin bow on the left shoulder. Overall an excellent piece by Sachin + Babi!!

Timeless elegance
Formal party and this dress was THE ONE! The dress is a poly blend and the blue sash feels like satin. 5'6" 125lbs, 27" waist and I wore the 4 but could have gone with the 2 as it was a too big in the chest. I am a 34C with a 35" bust measurement and had to wear a padded strapless bra to help hold it up. But, that worked just fine and the sizing is of no fault of the dress design, just my non existent, post breast feeding, saggy sock excuse for boobs. Length was perfect for me in 3" heels.

Rented this for my mid summer rehearsal dinner and LOVED it!
This designer definitely runs small and the fabric is extremely luxurious, but offers zero stretch. I was about 117lbs and 5'6" at the time of my wedding and the size 4 skirt fit very well with the crop top look, but I prefer it to be a bit loose fitting(forgiving) when my mid section is showing :) If you are in between sizes, I would definitely size up as it is easier to safety pin than lose 5lbs overnight. All in all I LOVED this top and matching skirt and would really like find an opportunity to rent it again.

One of the only dresses I was truly sad to return!
If you have an upcoming black tie wedding, RENT THIS DRESS NOW!! It is hella glamorous but still easy to move and dance in with the hi-lo hem. The fit is flattering and the material is think and feels very high quality to me. Pair with a fun necklace or statement earrings but I would keep the shoes simple, let this gown do the talking. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous gown! Dying to find an event to wear it again!!

Beautiful baby blue dress with fun side cutouts
My experience with renting dresses with cut outs is that you usually want to size up to avoid any unflattering squeezing of anything. Unfortunately the size 4 had a small stain that, if my fiancé noticed, other would notice, so I opted to wear the 2. It still fit pretty well and I could still wear a normal bra without it peeking through. This dress is a thicker material, but not too heavy, and the color is a sky blue. The fit is fairly long, hem falls below the knee so you'll definitely need to wear heels to elongate your legs. I paired it with a gold statement necklace and simple earrings and nude sandals. I would definitely recommend trying this dress for a summer wedding. It's simple but unique and fun to wear.

Unique, fun, stand out dress!
As with most Nicole Miller dresses, this fit very true to size. I was able to wear a regular nude bra with it and it really didn't noticeably show. It has a little bit of stretch to it and is a nice lightweight material. Perfect for an outdoor summer event! I paired with with a white statement necklace and simple nude sandals. I highly recommend renting this dress!

Beautifully made dress with a very unique style
This dress runs SMALL!! I am usually a two, maybe a four and definitely wish I had a six to wear for this dress. The black band around the waistline was very tight to begin with on my 26" waist and was downright uncomfortable after dinner. We even ended up leaving early!! However, It is a very beautifully constructed dress with a unique design. Just definitely do not assume you'll be fine in your normal size!!

Received compliment from another wedding guest on how pretty this dress is!
For me, the xs and small fit was very similar. The biggest difference was the length and how the lace back fit and laid. I preferred the length of the small but the back was just way too droopy so I ended up wearing the x-small and just kept an eye on the hem when I stood up. The dress does ride up so I was pulling it down a lot, but mostly because of my age and not wanting it to be inappropriately short. I would highly recommend this dress to anyone, the color is beautiful, the design is unique, and you can wear a strapless bra with clear straps! Hollerrrr!!

Fun dress with flirty cut outs!
The overall fit was true to size, but there is zero stretch in the fabric. Pros: unique cut, design & color, lightweight and great for a summer event. Cons: I work out frequently and weigh less than 125lbs, yet I was still very self conscious of the enunciated "back fat" created by the cut outs in the back of this dress. Consider yourself warned. I almost wore the size 4, but it was a bit baggy everywhere else, so I just rocked the 2 and drank enough wine to make me forget about what was happening back there.

Beautiful color, wonderfully flattering fit!
Pros- This dress has a truly beautiful and unique color, and the mesh black top and v cut out add the right amount of sexy to a cute dress. Cons- None unless you cant wear a strapless bra, but I wore a black strapless that blended in with the mesh panel and it looked fantastic. I would rent this again in a heartbeat!!!

Unique, comfortable and unforgettable!
I wore this to my birthday dinner with friends and it was perfect. I could have worn the small or medium, but I opted for the medium to give it a little more length. I was so comfortable sitting, standing, dancing etc until 4am. I have never been so sad to return a dress before, especially because we did not take enough pictures! I suppose I will just have to rent it again! =)

RTR's incredible customer service team made this dress possible. Thank You!
I was originally worried about the fit of the sizes I ordered, since the dress was not available in the showroom, but it ended up working out. The dress was a tad snug in the butt & hips, of which I don't have much, so if you are lucky enough to have a bit of a donk, order a size up or you might not be able to sit. The color in person is gorgeous, photographs really do not do it justice, and a fun statement necklace really tops it off well since the overall design is a bit simple. Although I did not receive any compliments, I felt classy and stylish all night. I definitely recommend this dress for a wedding or comfortable night of dinner & dancing if you are full busted and do not enjoy having your boobs all over the place. Also-Manhattan ladies, if you do not have a doorman in your building, have it delivered to your office or you will have to sit at home and wait for the courier all day since a signature is required. I cant thank RTR's customer service team enough for getting me through this issue. Claire, Katie, and Rachel, you are fantastic. Thank you for staying so late to ensure the courier found my doorman-less apartment after at least one failed attempt. Cant wait to rent again!
